Pros
You get the opportunity to be so micromanaged you dont have to be good at all to make sales. Other companies love taking Cintas employees bc they know if you can put up with that BS you can kill it in any other job that has great work/life balance with much better pay that does not require you to sell toilet paper/install it yourself/ deliver it yourself/ and collect bills yourself/ or they wont pay you on the account.
Cons
Where to begin....first they will raise your number so high the expections are impossible to meet which is why turnover is rampant. They pit you against others on your team to steal accounts do whatever bc it does not effect your managers number at all so they encourage it. Your work life balance does not exist. You will work 60 hours a week due to the ridiculous amount of paperwork bc you have to have people sign 5 year contracts for toilet paper on top of getting it approved by your manager, your director, your GM, your service team, even your driver. They expect you to grind yourself into the ground with promises of promotions that never come due to spots dont open up. If a team struggles they just fire sales guys not the managers. They lose all their top performers after year or two to take much better jobs. They cant keep anyone valuable bc after a little time people see the real inner workings and its completely different that portrayed through interview process. This is a great job if you like busting your backside while your manager sits at home and asks you to take a picture outside your window immediately and send it back to make sure your knocking on doors at 7am rain or shine. Not to mention sitting in a cubicle twice a week for 5 hours makeing phon3 calls nonstop. If you dont you get scolded by your manager who just stands there and says keep going you get a bathroom break only last 5 min each hour. Not to mention everything your selling 90 percent of the population does not care to listen to your speech and your usually 50% more expensive than anyone else. Sounds great right?
